Yigal Hen (Hollywood, FL) is off to a very nice start this calendar year, already recording eight cashes in the first seven weeks of 2018.

With yesterday being an observed holiday for many people, it's no surprise that there are numerous players in this early field that are taking their first attempt at bagging chips.  Yigal Hen (Hollywood, FL) is coming off a solid run in Event #2 of the WSOP Circuit at Coconut Creek ($365 No Limit Hold'em), where he finished in 45th place, which earned him $1,637.  That was already is eighth cash of the year ($4,124 combined total), which gives him a nice start towards besting his 2017 number ($35,943).  Last year was Hen's best in regards to tournament statistics, as he holds onto an overall resume with $189,000 in live earnings.

There are also some players already in action that we saw yesterday afternoon, including Christopher Gilkey, Ellen Smith, and Eric Brewster.
